Currently available models with the integrated screen include the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLE, and G-Class. Below is a partial introduction to the Mercedes-Benz integrated screen: 1. Overview: The Mercedes-Benz integrated screen refers to the connection of the car's instrument display and multimedia central control screen, creating a visually stunning effect that further enhances the interior's sense of luxury and technology. 2. Functions: The Mercedes-Benz integrated screen displays a wide range of information, including conventional engine speed, vehicle speed, fuel consumption, and various vehicle statuses, as well as navigation, maps, night vision, multimedia, voice control, air conditioning control, and multimedia control functions.

I remember the first time I saw the dual-screen display was on the W222-generation S-Class sedan, which dates back to around 2013. The visual impact of two 12.3-inch screens seamlessly connected was particularly stunning, and sitting in the cockpit felt like piloting a spaceship. Later, this design trickled down to mainstream models like the C-Class and E-Class—my neighbor Lao Wang's 2018 E-Class came equipped with this feature. However, the new C-Class has now switched to a standalone vertical screen, making the dual-screen setup a hallmark of older models. While this design exudes a strong sense of technology, prolonged use reveals issues like glare, and the entire panel must be removed for repairs. The recently launched all-electric EQS takes it even further with an extravagant 1.4-meter hyperscreen.

The Mercedes-Benz's expansive dashboard-spanning widescreen display was first introduced in the flagship S-Class. During my test drive, I distinctly noticed how different it felt compared to traditional instrument clusters. The two LCD screens completely replaced physical buttons, allowing control of air conditioning and navigation information via steering wheel touch controls. In the current market, 2017 GLE models equipped with this widescreen are particularly popular due to their highly integrated center console design. However, a friend who bought a used CLS complained that this design tends to overheat and lag during summer, plus replacing the screen costs over ten thousand yuan. The new EQ series electric vehicles have upgraded to curved glass-integrated screens, which provide smoother finger swiping.

The dual-screen setup is most prominently featured in the current GLC model. Last year, when accompanying my cousin to pick up his car, I specifically experienced it. The 10.25-inch instrument cluster and 10.25-inch central control screen form a T-shaped layout, and when CarPlay projects navigation, the map can cover the entire area. However, in actual use, I found that fingerprints are particularly noticeable, so it's necessary to always have a cleaning cloth handy. I heard that early versions even had issues with color temperature differences between the left and right screens. Now, the lower-spec A-Class also uses a similar design, but with thicker bezels. The most troublesome aspect of this connected screen is that the protective film needs to be custom-made, as ordinary single-piece films simply won't fit.

Actually, Mercedes' dual-screen design evolved in two phases: initially, it was the pseudo-connected screen with a physical divider seen in the W205-generation C-Class, which only became a truly seamless display after the 2017 facelift. Last week during at the dealership, a technician pointed out that beneath the EQC electric car's glass cover lie three hidden screens. This design is most prone to rattling on bumpy roads—my colleague's GLE had to return to the factory for resealing because of this issue. The newly released S63 retains the connected screens but adds AR real-world navigation functionality.

A friend who runs a repair shop often complains about the high repair costs for Mercedes' dual-screen setups, especially for water-damaged vehicles—even slight water seepage at the edges requires replacing the entire module. Currently, this design is mainly found in pre-facelift GLE and GLS models. Last year, while working on a damaged car, it took three hours just to remove the curved glass cover. The new EQE retains the wide-screen concept but adopts a floating design. As for the most iconic dual-screen model, I personally think it's the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe—the carbon fiber dashboard paired with the curved screen feels particularly striking.
